Saint Benedict, Abbot

First reading

Proverbs 2:1-9

My son, if you take my words to heart, if you set store by my commandments,tuning your ear to wisdom, and applying your heart to truth:yes, if your plea is for clear perception, if you cry out for discernment,if you look for it as if it were silver, and search for it as for buried treasure,you will then understand what the fear of the Lord is, and discover the knowledge of God.For the Lord himself is giver of wisdom, from his mouth issue knowledge and discernment.He keeps his help for honest men, he is the shield of those whose ways are honourable;he stands guard over the paths of justice, he keeps watch on the way of his devoted ones.Then you will understand what virtue is, justice, and fair dealing, all paths that lead to happiness.

Psalm or canticle

Psalm 33:2-11

I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise always on my lips;in the Lord my soul shall make its boast. The humble shall hear and be glad.

Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us praise his name.I sought the Lord and he answered me; from all my terrors he set me free.

Look towards him and be radiant; let your faces not be abashed.This poor man called, the Lord heard him and rescued him from all his distress.

The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere him, to rescue them.Taste and see that the Lord is good. He is happy who seeks refuge in him.

Revere the Lord, you his saints. They lack nothing, those who revere him.Strong lions suffer want and go hungry but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.

Gospel

Matthew 19:27-29

‘What about us?’ Peter said to Jesus. ‘We have left everything and followed you. What are we to have, then?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I tell you solemnly, when all is made new and the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory, you will yourselves sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or land for the sake of my name will be repaid a hundred times over, and also inherit eternal life.’
